Brief summary

To verify the efficacy of manikins with feedback in the training of physicians and nurses in the courses of Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) authorized by the American Heart Association (AHA) when compared to the traditional training form.

Detailed description

Introduction: The Cardiopulmonary Arrest (CRP) is the largest medical emergency, training is fundamental for a good performance in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). In a realistic simulation scenario, the results tend to improve with the use of feedback manikins that evaluate the quality parameters in CPR and show in real time what the rescuer needs to improve in order to be successful in training and increase the probability of success in future real care. Objective: To verify the efficacy of the manikins with feedback in the training of physicians and nurses in the courses of Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) authorized by the American Heart Association (AHA). Methods: Comparison of CPR performance of ACLS students. The intervention group will be submitted to the real-time feedback of the manikins, the control group will receive feedback from the instructor. Statistical analysis will consist of inter-group comparisons and will cover mean, standard deviation, and parametric tests such as Student's T test. The results will be related to the characteristics of the sample, including anthropometric profile, profession, training time, practice area, previous training with a focus on CPR and physical exercise practice.
